Some courts find impermissible content discrimination in this situation, while others - heavily influenced by the Supreme Court's 2000 decision in Hill v. Colorado- do not. This article explores the case law in this area (including the effect of other Supreme Court decisions, most notably City of Ladue v. Gilleo), and suggest a more flexible and realistic approach to the de minimis content discrimination at issue in these cases.","PeriodicalId":344803,"journal":{"name":"Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center Legal Studies Research Paper Series","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126081365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following an overview of U.S. environmental enforcement approaches and authorities, this paper considers the history and current state of EPA’s organizational structure for enforcement. It assays the Agency’s working relations with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and its dealings with state environmental agency enforcement programs. The paper also considers the nature and sources of resource shortfalls that have long impaired the effectiveness of EPA’s enforcement work. It advances specific suggestions to redress the problems it identifies.","PeriodicalId":344803,"journal":{"name":"Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center Legal Studies Research Paper Series","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129911754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
